gene mapping
DNA location plotting
Gene mapping is the process of determining where genes are located on chromosomes and how far apart they are from one another.
Scientists use gene mapping to identify which genes are responsible for inherited traits or diseases: Gene mapping helped researchers locate the mutation causing cystic fibrosis.
The term covers various techniques, from classical breeding experiments to modern DNA sequencing.
